Auto-rotate inop

Hi guys,

Been running the latest 4.0.3 and love it.

Here's the details:

SGH-I897

4.0.3

Baseband I9000UGJL2

Kernel 3.0.8-NEO-3.0-TeamICSSGS-257179-gb5a9c78-dirty

Build SGH-I897-user 4.0.3 IML74K eng.

onecosmic.20120204.223407 test-keys

So, I have been very happy with ICS, but noticed last night I have auto rotation. I ticked the box, and enabled it on the bar, but no go.

Anyone else seen this? It's something I can live with, but if there is a reason and fix to look for I would be grateful.

Thanks,

David

Change launcher. Nova or Apex are nice.

Sounds like a plan. I'll give it a try.

Thanks for the reply,

edit update: No go on either launcher, even after reboot. No big deal, I can live with it.

Unable to edit contacts in RC4.2

i flashed ICSSGS RC4.2 ROM for facebook contact picture sync. Contacts from exchange synced fine with facebook contacts but are not showing facebook photo and i am not able to edit any of the contact. Keep on getting "not editable from this app" message.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bozolini:
Keeping private information private.

There has been an ever-increasing number of apps which want access to private information (like call logs, location, and contact information) without needing it to run the application. I'm talking about games and not apps which require such information like Anti-virus and such. Will we ever have a permission manager a la MIUI on this ROM? I understand that many developers work in concert, so I am wondering why most ROM's are not created with safeguards in place to protect private information. I am aware that I am not in the MIUI Q&A section, but I feel this is an issue that all ROM's should consider in order to protect private information. I know that I don't have to install apps which ask for this information if I don't want to give up my information, but it seems that every app nowadays asks for these permissions and it would be a shame to continue as if there were nothing wrong with compromising private information to play a game.

Thanks in advance.:)

Few Issues

First thing here. I'm somewhat lost as to why there is so many responses in the q/a section saying don't ask that here..go to the q/a?

Next here. I tried back at RC2.1. I could not get any good stable oc and thought I had the weaker device and could not get dtmf tones with csipsimple at least. A few bugs and others so I went to CM7..which is amazing btw. Dtmf again worked and along with glitch I am always stable at 1.5ghz and was able to achieve the 1.7ghz a lot too so I guess I had one of those higher rated cappys. Now trying again no dtmf tones and oc does not seem to be stable at medium rates again. I've searched a lot for the dtmf issue a lot as to try and not have to ask and if I even find anything nobody ever answers the few i found. I found one in a q/a, but it was one that only got the response saying go ask that in the q/a.

The other thing I had a big issue with is ever since I tried RC2.1 I have not been able to restore my contacts that were not Google linked. I can download contact apps that show almost all the other ones in a separate area.:eek:

Almost forgot! I could have sworn last time when I went to rc2.1 all my apps stayed in tact and this time I had to run a backup. Is that just by luck it may or may not restore all apps?

I've been using icy glitch 14 b5 for a few weeks and would only occasionally have the random shutdown issue. At one point though I went about 6 days straight without a reboot, things were running very smooth for the most part.

Recently though, it has gotten significantly worse. Over the last few days my phone has shut down 7 or 8 times, so I wonder if the culprit may be a recently updated app issue as opposed to a rom/kernel issue?

I would guess an app. You could try uninstalling recent ones or updating to glitch b6. Sometimes I find it helps to clear cache/dalvik cache to "freshen up" the phone.

Sing in network issue

I'm using this ROM, since the firsts releases, and know I got a problem.

For some weird reason my captivate, don't sing in my provider network.

I tested with other people SIM ( from same network and do not work too )

With the all the other providers, it works.

I tried almost everything, wipe cache, dalvik cache, wipe data/factory reset,

reinstalling ROM.

Know I'm thinking in change kernel and modem.

The funny thing it's that the phone recognize the Mobile network, register and there is no service ( and in my Galaxy S2 , my SIM works nice ).

Any Ideas?

P.S. Two days ago it worked for 3 or 4 days and got the same issue again .

Impressed

I have been using the Samsung Captivate for approximately six months now. I have come onto the scene pretty late into the Captivate's life. I was virgin stock for 3 weeks and I absolutely hated the AT&T pre-installed apps. I sought bigger and better things, so I decided to root my phone.

I went and read a few guides on some random online resources about how to root the Captivate, but none were working. I later realized that I had already updated to the latest stock Gingerbread (Kies upgrade) and this made for an aggravating setback.

So, I decided to Odin back to Froyo and go from there... Why did I ever do that? Noobness, I suppose. Not that this wouldn't have worked, but I made my life miserable when the Odin failed and I bricked my phone. I was frantic, searching every way possible to fix the blasted phone. That's when I discovered this lovely forum of mobile phone knowledge. I discovered the Jig trick (I went for homemade) and got my phone back into download mode. I was finally able to Odin back to Froyo and root my phone.

About a week later, I decided to check out some of the ROMs available because I knew Samsung/AT&T wasn't releasing ICS for the Captivate. Well, this was the first ROM I chose to use and I don't regret it. However, there were a few issues with the original kernel, so I went for IcyGlitch (B5 at the time) and I haven't looked back until the other day.

I can't begin to describe how impressed I am with this ROM. I don't know if there's a best out there, but I have only had very minor issues with this ROM. I've decided to give Nostalgia 6 a try until the newest RC5 comes out (switched out of curiosity).

So, I want to give my thanks to all responsible for the development of this ROM. I look forward to the release of RC5 and I can't wait!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bravomail:
Yes, Nostalgia, sweet

ICS SGS is a good ROM. I tried it when there was CM9 and Doc's ICS, no AOKP. Little theming would spruce it up, it is very spartan. :D

Bluetooth issue

I have been using ICSSGS as my daily driver for about a month and it has been phenomenal. However, my bluetooth has never worked since I came from Gingerbread to ICS. The description says it is working, so I figured it must be something at my end. Til now I have just lived without BT.

Today I flashed the new RC5 and still no working bluetooth for me. I am thinking maybe it's a modem issue.

I remember seeing a recommendation a while back to use i9000 modems for ICS, even though it is really an i897 , but I am curious if there are a preferred set of modems for the new 4.0.4 RC5 or would I be ok just picking any old modem from the list?

EDIT: It ended up being a hardware issue. both of my headsets quit at the same time. I got a new one today and it hooked right up.

IMEI

Flashed new RC5 (and it's nice!). Unfortunately, I've run into my first IMEI issue. It's now 004999010640000. This is a fresh install, full wipe everything. Pure vanilla RC5. Other than the IMEI problem, everything seems to be working perfectly. Even Deep Idle, which has never worked for me before, is working as far as I can tell. I've not yet experienced any stuttering or lag of any sort. Boot up is literally less than a minute. Camera, bluetooth, WiFi, and anything else I've messed with is working great... for me anyway. I loved the easy installation. With exception of the IMEI thing, I can't complain at all. VERY good job guys, thank you for the hard work! I'm still in the 10 post threshold, so I couldn't post it directly in the Dev thread.

Custom Ringtones

I've been using RC 4.2 and more recently RC 5 and loved them both. The only real issue I have is my custom ringtones don't ring for the correct contacts. for example, Wife=pulp.mp3, Mom=who.mp3 but sometimes(not always) pulp.mp3 goes off when mom calls and who.mp3 goes off when wife calls. I seem to be the only person this happens to since I've done searches on here and the general net and can't find anyone with a similar issue. so anyone have any ideas?

I have tried re-assigning them, but that doesn't help. Would clearing phone data help this or "people" data. If I do that, I shouldn't lose my contacts, correct?

RC5 & Android Os

I've been running RC5 with Devil kernel and Android Os is between 30% - 35%, that bug was fixed in 4.0.4 and should be around 10% - 15% like it was in gingerbread. Anyone one else having this. It's not major but with 4.2 my battery life was between 15-24 hours, now I get 15-20 at the most depending on usage. Great ROM by the way, thanks to the devs.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endlight:
I have the same experience with the low signal bars, and have actually noticed I've lost complete signal a few times (5% according to my cell standby process) in my house when normally, I wouldn't have. But in my limited time (on 2.1 w/ 3.0.8 - fugumod) I haven't missed a call or dropped any, so I guess it's okay atm?

Also, everything's been working pretty amazing on my phone, and I'm actually not experiencing most of the issues that most ppl are reporting, but I am unable to keep my phone off and charge at the same time, as it always powers back on when it's plugged back in. I saw it mentioned briefly before in the main thread, but couldn't find a direct fix/solution for it. Not sure if that was fixed in 2.11 - but coudln't stay there because I had that flickering wifi issue.

The only other issue I'm having is worse that expected battery life? It's well documented that the android OS process is eating up tons of batt even when it shouldn't - and I know there's apparently been a partial fix for the actual SG Nexus' out there, but right now if I leave my phone with basic google sync on (wifi or 3g) i'm losing roughly 3% an hour? And I know it's not the sync that's draining my battery... I think... And my android OS process is showing awake times of roughly 2-3 times more than my actual screen on time (which to me in my limited knowledge doesn't make too much sense?)

and actually CPU spy tells me that my keep awake time is graeter than my culminative non-deepsleep time? is that weird?

display battery consumption is amazinggg though, whcih is probably almost offsetting this OS process issue back to normal..

sorry for the long and possibly misplaced post!

Android OS

I've seen this problem often on the dev page, but could never find a fix for it.

Has anybody found a fix for the "Android OS" battery issue? The Galaxy Nexus thread has a dev who has made a kernel which has apparently fixed something with the phone not going into deep sleep and I was wondering if we had a fix coming as well.

And a second thing, when the Mediaserver process pops up, I am unable to play select songs. Why is that? I'm quite sure its not DRM check, though I could be wrong.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Is the difference in signal with the same modem as when you had good service?

The power issue can be alot of things. Keep in mind ICS is new in general. And building it from from source isn't easy. AOSP in general have been heavier on power drain. Lets give the devs time and see how they can improve.

The deep sleep has been less than stellar. These kernals are still in HEAVY development. Lets be patient with the devs ;)

You will need to switch kernels. Either a newer glitch or grab one of nushor's kernels here. Note that you will need to clear cache and dalvik before flashing one of nushors kernels. If that yields you a none working home you will need to factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik.
